A Morris County man who struck and killed a Paramus jogger with his pickup truck in Pennsylvania last month has been committed to a psychiatric hospital to determine his mental fitness, authorities said Wednesday.

Phil Cise, 48, of Dover was moved to the state-run Ann Klein Forensic Center on Saturday from the Somerset County Jail, where he had been held for weeks on harassment charges unrelated to the fatal pedestrian crash, according to a jail officer, Gaspar Lostocco.

Lostocco said Cise was psychologically screened at Somerset Medical Center before being moved to the 200-bed psychiatric hospital in West Trenton, which treats people with mental illnesses who are facing charges.

All admissions to Ann Klein are involuntary commitments, state officials said. Cise also faces criminal charges in Morris County, and legal experts said defendants committed to Ann Klein continue to face criminal charges, and would not simply be released from the hospital.

John Cise, Philip’s brother, said he called the jail on Tuesday afternoon and was told his brother no longer was there. He said jail officials would not tell him where his brother had been sent. Patients have the right not to have their family notified when they’re committed, said Virginia Mastrogiovanni, Somerset County adjuster, whose office is responsible for patients sent to state institutions such as Ann Klein.

Treatment at Ann Klein generally costs $1,000 a day, but financial assistance is available for patients who can’t afford it, Mastrogiovanni said.

“I was told he’s able to call if he wants us to know where he is,” John Cise, who lives in New Mexico, said Tuesday evening. He said his brother has suffered from a mental illness for at least 12 years and has been treated by psychiatrists.

An attorney who previously represented Philip Cise has said his former client gets into trouble when he doesn’t take his prescribed lithium, which is used to treat psychiatric disorders.

Morris County court officials said Cise remains scheduled for an Aug. 13 hearing on charges that he waved an ax during a July 2 confrontation at a McDonald’s in Rockaway Borough and stole a truck in Jefferson on July 7. Police issued a weapons charge after the ax-waving, but he was released with no bail being set. He posted $15,000 bail after he was charged with stealing the truck.

One week later, Cise struck and killed 20-year-old Gabrielle Reuveni, the 2010 Paramus High School valedictorian, while she was out running near her family’s vacation home in the Poconos.

The Pennsylvania State Police have been waiting for toxicology results before deciding whether to charge him in the death. Calls to Pennsylvania authorities on Wednesday were not returned.

Michael Reuveni, Gabrielle’s father, said Wednesday that he went to Pennsylvania over the weekend to pick up his daughter’s belongings, and that authorities assured him they are working on the case.

“They reassured us they are on it and doing everything they can,” Reuveni said. “They don’t want to release anything ahead of time. … I just don’t want to see this man walk away.”

Reuveni said he wasn’t aware that Cise had been sent to a psychiatric hospital, but he expressed anger that Cise had been let go without bail after waving an ax in Rockaway weeks before his daughter was killed and frustration over his release in Pennsylvania after the crash that killed Gabrielle.

“None of this is going to help my daughter,” he said when told Cise had been committed to a psychiatric hospital. “We’re still in shock over what happened, and grief. I’m trying to hold my family together. How does he keep getting released?”

One day after he was released in Pennsylvania, Cise slammed into a utility pole in Parsippany, where police arrested him after discovering an outstanding warrant issued for allegedly attempting to gain access to the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, claiming he was working for a 9/11 foundation. Until Saturday, Cise was held at the Somerset County Jail on contempt, trespassing and harassment charges. His next hearing in Bedminster court is scheduled for Aug. 14.
